What is the correlation/connection between water baptism and church membership? I see where Acts 2:41 references both baptism and adding to the church in the same context, but have not found where baptism is clearly required for church membership.
Could you please define and explain the differences between the Primitive Baptist Church and the Separatist Baptists?
Is shouting Biblical to do in the house of God or is it necessary?
What are the problems faced by the new churches?
Who has control over monies coming into the church?
How do you feel about the meet and greet in the church. Our church spends anywhere from 10-15 min. on it and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I really feel strange about men and women shaking hands with each other. I think it's just looking for trouble. Am I wrong?
What do we need to look for in finding a biblical church? If we are searching for a church what do we need to be watching for? Sorry I know it may not make sense I am just curious in what we need to be watching for and the kind of church God wants us to be in.
Is the church the building as we know it today or is it the body?
If a Baptist Church had problems and split, would the newly formed church be a scriptural church? The new church did not have an "arm extended" from another church. Please help me understand "extending an arm from another church" clearer. I hear other preachers making the comments that if an "arm was not extended" from another scriptural New Testament Church then it is not a New Testament Church.
